The award has been made to Acton Burnell-based Concord College by Best Schools, a national educational organisation, following recent publication of league tables.

The Best Schools rankings are based on A level results in 2021 which were Concord’s best-ever – 76% A* and 94% A*/A. The results are the highest on every measure in Concord’s history.

Over a third of 2021 leavers – 52 students – achieved four A*s or more and two thirds – 96 students – achieved 3 A*s or more.
